To our valued guests,
Please Be Kind
Our industry is in extreme crisis. We had to modify our menu due to both labor and product shortages without raising prices.
More importantly,
please continue to be mindful of the challenges your server faces everyday and exhibit patience whenever possible.
Sincerely,
Your favorite Aunt!

Who is Aunt Jake?
Founded in 2015, the company set out to replicate the idyllic, simplistic, cuisine we grew up to enjoy. However, we wanted to create Italian food for the “next” generation. The idea was to develop an Italian con-cept around the customer’s choice on how to eat pasta compared to how the restaurant wanted you to eat it. With that in mind, Aunt Jakes’ core mission is to bring high-quality fresh ingredients daily to craft our handmade pasta and sauces in a health-conscious manner. The custom-er can mix and match, sauce with shape, and create a custom dish of their own. What’s more, the customer can also choose whether they would like their food served individual or family-style.
Given the forward-thinking of the concept, the founders wanted to tailor the brand’s name around a fictitious character, Aunt Jake. The name neither implies nor suggests a gender, as everyone’s family may have had that one person who was the “master of ceremonies” on special occasions. Therefore, as the menu allows you the freedom to choose what appeals to you, so should the name.
